Praise For…

Praise for The Romeo and Juliet Code:

"Phoebe Stone’s The Romeo and Juliet Code is quite simply the best novel for young readers I’ve read since “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.’. . . The Romeo and Juliet Code shows that truth will win out — and that Stone has written a masterpiece for young readers everywhere. - The Boston Globe

"The story’s strands satisfyingly come together in a plot full of intrigue, with well-integrated historical and literary references. On top of all that, Flissy is a kick, her ever-so-proper manners and stuffy Briticisms belied by her abundant curiosity and consequent meddling." - The Horn Book, starred review
